Description
"The history of cinema, the history of images, is something that constantly recycles itself […] It's like the process of life. There are things that rot, that we bury, that give back humus, that become manure, to give birth to other seeds and other plants that have their life, that reproduce, and that in turn die and give birth to something else. It's the opposite of morbid vanity, it's life perpetuating itself. And so I would look quite favorably on people stealing images from me, if they're willing to leave the originals alone. And even if they do, too bad, as long as they take images and rework them in turn. Experimental cinema, it's good to give in turn by filming images yourself that can then be diverted. To reuse is first to divert. To deviate a trajectory, to give another path."
